The Economist is providing free home-learning resources for children while schools around the world are closed, via The Economist Educational Foundation. The Foundation is a charity that gives disadvantaged young people the skills to think and speak for themselves about current affairs. Parents and teachers alike can find these resources here, including a critical-thinking guide on COVID-19 designed for 9 to 14-year-olds.
